This is a facility used by ASU as student housing, there are multiple signs and murals that say "Remember, we are all students" Hallways have a fresh coat of hot pink paint, love the smell. The room had a strong mildew smell in the bathroom. The room was vintage 1970. $15 per night was not disclosed until we arrived.

Benefit of the doubt because I've stayed a dozen times prior without issue. This time I was put in a room the smelled like a smoking room although they are a nonsmoking property. I asked for air freshener, which they provided, but no apology or offer to switch my room or comp a breakfast or something. I stuck it out since it was a short stay. Then I received a parking citation because the person who checked me in was supposed to ask for my vehicle plate info but didn't. The fee was waived but again no apology. The gal actually acted like it was my fault for not supplying the plate info but how would I know that I'm supposed to without a prompt at check in?! I'll stay again because it's near my family & walkable to where I like to go but they'll likely only get one more chance.

Cute place to stay

We chose Graduate because of its proximity to our venue. The bathroom was a bit small, and not fully stocked for our stay, but other than that we were pleasantly surprised. The room was cute and comfortable. The front desk staff was friendly and did their best to be helpful.

No Sleep for the weary

Front desk people very courteous. Unfortunately, our room faced the street which was very loud hearing cars, trolly until late. Then every time the room above used a shower our room sounded like a jack hammer. Early in the morning waking us up and late in the evening. To our knowledge, no one ever came to check on it.
